I especially love it because just before saying that he pointed out that everyone else's judgement could be affected. Only to add that they are doing the right thing.

[@derworfnet]

Fun Fact: While the Effects of this movie were mostly CGI, the Filmmakers decided late during production that the Explosion of the Collector would look better if done practically (Computer Generated Explosions didn't look convincing enough yet, at least not on the big screen). As this was outside the wheelhouse of the two companies sharing the effects-workload, a third company (Hunter/Gratzner Industries) was brought in specifically to build a huge eight-foot minature of the Collector, stuff it full of explosives and blow it the f*ck up.

[@thebensisko]

That's why the effects during that scene look so good! I wondered about that. The CGI in this movie is mostly not very good, even for the time, but some scenes in the Briar Patch look OK. That explosion is epic, though.

Riker's smile after Geordi tells him he's already ejected the Warp Core. After serving together for well over a decade, the crew of the Enterprise is able to act like a perfect, well oiled machine. Some orders probably don't even need to be given since they can already anticipate what their CO's would expect of them. Geordi already having ejected the core before Riker gives the order is a perfect example of this.

Actually, I recognize the joystick design: it's a Gravis PC flightstick, probably 1 of the Blackbird models from the 1990s onward. Gravis became a fairly big brand name in the PC game controller market, starting w/ their relatively humble 4-button gamepads & rapidly expanding (thanx 2 an aggressive marketing campaign) 2 joysticks, flightsticks & mice. For a while, they were giving the venerable market giant Thrustmaster (revered 4 their sexy "military accurate" FCS flightsticks as well as rudder control & HOTAS accessories) a run 4 their money. The Blackbird models were cool because they were both shorter & lighter than their Thrustmaster counterparts, plus they included a throttle dial control (which the Thrustmaster FCS did not; a separate HOTAS throttle was the only option if U wanted 2 avoid using your keyboard) & the more expensive models had a thumb-operated "hat switch" (basically a small knob which behaved like a directional pad). The most advanced Gravis model had a larger base unit & more buttons, but the overall design of the flightstick was the same. When I 1st saw this scene I literally LOLed -- because it was hilarious 2 think that 24th-century engineers designed a popup manual steering column 4 the bridge, then had the following discussion: Starfleet Engineer #1: Hey, the design spec calls for a multi-button ... "flightstick" ... which is supposed to mechanically extend out of & retract back into the top of the column. What the devil is a "flightstick"? Starfleet Engineer #2: Oh, that's old tech from the late 20th century thru the early 21st. I've got an old flightstick my family's been passing down for generations -- still works! Engineer #1: Seriously? Think we could incorporate it into this modern starship design? 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

All the people that say this movie feels like a regular episode of TNG aren't wrong, and that's not a bad thing. I remember first discovering this movie: I wasn't even aware it had come out when originally released, and only discovered it around 2005-ish... over a decade since TNG had gone off the air. I downloaded it or rented it on DVD or something, and it was like I'd discovered a bonus two-part episode of TNG that I'd never seen before and it immediately brought me back to the Saturday "pizza and Star Trek" nights of when I was a kid in the '80s and early '90s. So it's not a masterpiece. It's not Wrath of Khan or First Contact, retreads some themes they've already tread in the series, and there are some parts where you can totally see the lack of budget (there's a little footbridge that, like, bounces like it's made of plastic, because it totally is). What the movie DOES have is the morality play of the series, some good action scenes, Data reverting to TNG-era Data versus the movie-era emotion-chip-having Data (I know they explain that "he left the chip at home" but I thought it was supposed to be fused to his brain or something). It's got F. Murray Abraham acting his ass off in every scene he's in, beardless Riker, Donna Murphy being a Picard love interest that I really wish they'd followed up on (they did follow up on the Riker/Troi romance, thankfully), and -- most of all -- as someone else said, it captured the essence of the show. Had it actually BEEN an episode, it would've been one of the better ones. So yeah. It feels like an extended episode of TNG... and that's what makes it awesome.

[@ryancarroll3957]

Given the dystopian depressing USA party political episodes of Picard and discovery being led by a character more annoying than Nelix and early Westley Crusher combined ...I'd take this TNG in a second The bar is so low now

Generations was more of an extended TNG ep, with the same ship and uniforms as the series. Soran had fused the chip into Data's neural net, which became a weakness the Borg Queen was able to exploit in First Contact so they must have found a way to remove it.

Well, torpedoes do have a range of millions of km and can be fired at Warp too. Also bear in mind that full impulse couldn't be used. If we assume that maximum impulse is around 74 000 km/s (could be higher in normal space) then it stands to reason that torpedoes wouldn't necessarily have similar speed limitations as starships... they are after all launched at faster velocities and wouldn't need to worry about speed limits inside the Briar patch... so, there's that. Phasers on the other hand I think are limited to 300 000 km range.

Remember: Bullets (or missile) are faster than planes. Rule of air combat. I guess torpedoes are faster than ships too.

They needed to fly slow AF and only being SLIGHTLY faster than the E that moment, thus they would have needed time for that. The torpedo?

He didn't want to injure fellow Starfleet officers if he could avoid it, even though the Defiant was being hammered early in the engagement. Captain Benteen didn't want to go all-out, either, which is why she balked when Admiral Leyton ordered her to switch from photon to quantum torpedoes.

1:25 She says they're 18 minutes from the Son'a ships and then they are nearly hit by a torpedo... that was only a LITTLE ERROR.

[@jaredharris1970]

Every time I see the enterprise go up against a ship more powerful I think the reason it always makes it out of trouble is because of tactics and a smart captain and crew that comes up with out of the box unorthodox ways to beat the enemy and plot armor lol

Born in 67. Grew up in the 70s watching the TOS. I can still remember the anticipation when TNG aired in the mid 80s. Then it was like crazy in the 90s. All in the same decade, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. And even Enterprise was great too. I really miss the story arcs from those shows in those years. Seems like everything nowadays is so damn heavy.

Worf gets the best line in the whole movie. Tournel, with an unfortunate view of a Federation vessel getting bigger, fearing that the officer in charge of it is madder than he thought: "He wouldn't!"

[@darkknight1a]

The only thing missing from the TNG era shows and movies is the silver handles. The original show had them and the kelvin timeline movies had them. Every time the captain tells you to go to warp, the helmsman would push one of those handles forward. The handle's would like you know....give you the feel of the ship.

[@1978rharris]

The aesthetic created by Mike Okuda for everything from TNG onwards was for smooth, touch sensitive surfaces that can be reconfigured to the users preference. So it’s not like you can miss it. The tech just moved on from what you like.

[@Shadowkey392]

Did they? I don’t remember that.

[@Nighthawke70]

Those are standard polished chrome throttle quads, fresh from your friendly marine supply dealership.

[@kinsmansteve]

@@Shadowkey392 No, the original series didn't have them.

[@u805]

No TOS did not have those throttles to go to warp, that was only in the JJ Ambrams movies, I'm assuming because JJ is a Star Wars fan and in Star Wars to go to hyperspace you move a throttle. In TOS it was usually controlled by button presses from the helm, navigation, or engineering; kind of changed based on whoever wrote the episode really. What you might be thinking of was for a brief period in the original pilot and sometimes in the first season where there were the grey viewers that looked like lamps at the various stations. As I was typing this though I just remembered the only time in the prime universe that Enterprise had a throttle was The Motion Picture, during the scenes in the first half of the movie Sulu uses a throttle to very gradually go to warp.

[@stratfordbaby]

Riker was channeling the early days with that baby face.

*Spoilers* In the first edition hardback novel of the film, written by J.M Dillard, and in the cinema test screening, Ruafu originally jumped into the collector pod and it launched up into the planet's rings. He became younger and younger until nothing. The actor whom played 'Young Ruafu' is written in the end credit.

[@darthkurland]

Well, the wait is over for that.

[@ItsTimePictures]

The HD scan of this film was heavily filtered with so called Noise Reduction (grain reduction) which ripped the detail right out of the image so upscaling is just eye trickery. Many of the Trek films suffered rom this fate on Blu-Ray. Thankfully the 4K disc releases seem to have fixed that (mightily so on the films I have viewed so far: I, II, III, and VI).

[@darthkurland]

It looks like they did so for all the films. I was particularly impressed with how they handled both TMP DE and “The Wrath of Khan.”

[@markusallen5634]

'Star Trek- Insurrection' wasn't bad, I wish that Rick Berman had just focused a little more on having 'this' movie and 'Nemesis' more involved in the Dominion War. I've always envisioned a hand-to-hand battle between thousands of Klingon warriors and the Jem' Hadar soldiers.

[@Sovereign01]

Insurrection was halfway through the Dominion War, Nemesis was three years after.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

They addressed that factor. Enterprise was needed for diplomatic envoy purposes to meet up new alliances during the war - plays dead center into Picard's proven ability as a diplomat. Enterprise was a high-brow ship, not one meant for the working class that were sent on missions in the war with high probability of never returning.
